Built with Replit Agent? Deploy it to DigitalOcean.
Step-by-step deployment help for Replit Agent-built apps on DigitalOcean. We fix deployment issues, configure DigitalOcean correctly, and get your app live in production. From $19.
Replit Agent issues we fix before deploying
Problems specific to Replit Agent's code generation that affect DigitalOcean deployments.
Secrets stored in Replit environment
API keys and credentials stored in Replit's secrets manager don't transfer when you export the project. Developers often hardcode them as a workaround, creating security risks.
No HTTPS or security headers
Replit's development environment doesn't enforce HTTPS or set security headers. Apps deployed without proper configuration are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks.
Database connection instability
Replit's hosted databases can disconnect unexpectedly. Without connection pooling and retry logic, apps crash or lose data during these interruptions.
File system assumptions
Replit Agent sometimes writes to the file system assuming persistent storage, which breaks on containerized or serverless deployments.
DigitalOcean deployment issues we check for
Common DigitalOcean problems that break AI-generated apps in production.
App Platform buildpack fails to detect framework
AI-generated project structures with non-standard entry points or missing start scripts cause DigitalOcean's buildpack to fail during auto-detection.
Managed database connection pool exhaustion
AI tools create a new database connection per request instead of using a connection pool, exhausting DigitalOcean's managed database connection limits quickly.
Droplet firewall not configured
Freshly provisioned Droplets have all ports open by default. AI deployment scripts skip firewall configuration, exposing SSH, database, and admin ports publicly.
Spaces CDN CORS not configured
DigitalOcean Spaces requires explicit CORS headers for browser-based uploads. AI-generated frontend code fails silently when uploading files directly to Spaces.

Frequently asked questions
Can you deploy a Replit Agent-built app to DigitalOcean?
Yes. We regularly deploy Replit Agent-generated projects to DigitalOcean. We handle the platform-specific configuration, fix deployment errors, and ensure your app runs reliably in production on DigitalOcean.
What DigitalOcean issues do Replit Agent projects typically have?
Replit Agent projects commonly have secrets stored in replit environment and no https or security headers. When deploying to DigitalOcean, these combine with platform-specific issues like app platform buildpack fails to detect framework and managed database connection pool exhaustion.
How do I get my Replit Agent project live on DigitalOcean?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of deployment blockers. For Replit Agent-built projects targeting DigitalOcean, the typical path is: fix Replit Agent-specific code issues, configure DigitalOcean settings correctly, then deploy. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
Can you handle the full deployment of my Replit Agent app to DigitalOcean?
Yes. We handle end-to-end deployment: auditing your Replit Agent codebase, fixing deployment blockers, configuring DigitalOcean correctly, setting up environment variables, and getting your app live in production. Start with our code audit ($19).
